Abstract |
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have attracted great attention as one of prominent nanomaterials because of their unique optical properties. In particular, their specific photostability such as non-blinking and non-bleaching behaviors has contributed greatly to the field of bioimaging and biosensors. Previously, we observed stochastic photon emission (SPEM) in core/shell UCNPs (NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+/NaYF4), ranging from nanosecond to microsecond time scales. To the contrary to power-laws kinetics of most quantum dots, the off-state distribution of UCNPs follows an exponential kinetics. There have been growing interest recently in Nd3+-doped UCNPs that is excited by 808 nm light, that penetrate deeper than that by 980 nm. We report SPEM in Nd3+-doped UCNPs for the first time. This luminescence intermittency is attributed to the long lifetime of intermediate states of the dopant lanthanide ions. |
